Metrocuadrado Data Parser & API

Metrocuadrado is one of Colombia’s two leading real-estate portals — roughly 2.18M monthly visits, owned by Casa Editorial El Tiempo, with strong new-build project data — and PropAPIS extracts its sales, rental, and proyectos data through a single REST API. Cover the Colombian market without building or maintaining a scraper.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• Co-Leader in Colombia: Tied with Fincaraíz at the top of CO real-estate search (La República )
• ~2.18M Monthly Visits (Semrush, Mar-2026 )
• Media-Owned: Operated by Casa Editorial El Tiempo, Colombia’s major media group
• Strong Proyectos Data: Good coverage of developer new-build projects

Ownership Cluster

Metrocuadrado is owned by Casa Editorial El Tiempo, separate from both the Navent family and Dubizzle/EMPG. In Colombia it competes directly with Fincaraíz (Dubizzle/EMPG) — the two are tied for the lead — so PropAPIS covers both to give complete Colombian market coverage from a single integration.

New-Build Launches

New-build / off-plan (“proyectos” / “preventa”) is a significant segment across LatAm and especially visible in Colombia. Metrocuadrado carries developer project listings — with delivery details — alongside resale, rental, and commercial inventory.

Market Coverage

• New-build (proyectos): Off-plan developer projects
• Resale: Existing residential properties for purchase
• Rental (long-term): Residential leases
• Commercial: Offices, retail, and business properties
• Nationwide: Bogotá and all Colombian departments
